Kay Adams says Broncos-Patriots is ‘most intriguing’ game on NFL schedule

Kay Adams of FanDuel's "Up & Adams" show recently revealed her top five most intriguing games of the upcoming 2026 NFL season. Topping her list? The Denver Broncos facing the New England Patriots in Week 17 .

As every Broncos fan painfully recalls, the Broncos lost to the Patriots 10-7 in the AFC Championship game earlier this year. Jarett Stidham started that game at quarterback after Bo Nix suffered a season-ending ankle injury at the end of the Broncos' thrilling 33-30 overtime win against the Buffalo Bills in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs. "Most intriguing matchups as we look forward to the schedule being released, I'm going to say, without question, it's Broncos at Pats," Adams said earlier this week.

"Because, and this is without Jarett Stidham this time hopefully, no offense to him, of course, former Patriot ... the AFC Championship game last year, this was the biggest 'what-if' this was the biggest unfinished business ... we'll never know what would have happened if Bo Nix would have been out there," Adams noted.
